Did the job for the money. My door would not shut. I told the front desk lady. She said you have to grab it and slam it shut. Which we had to do. Somebody who recently had surgery this was tough getting my door to shut and open. Breakfast was really basic. But for the money you pay it does the job.

The place was falling apart. Stains on bath matt, crumbling walls, things splattered up the walls, dusty, unclean, sagging uncomfortable bed. A clean room would have been good, but perhaps knocking it down would be better.

Okay, here's the thing, while we appreciate the cost at $146 for the night this place was not what was advertised. It's almost completely run down, it's cleanliness was okay I guess but not really deep clean. You get what you pay for but half the cost of other places.
